In “Unwanted Detours”, Rodney shares that a significant questions of faith is, “Can I fully trust GOD?” We have a need to feel safe and secure. So, how might things change for us, if we see God as a Shepherd? We need the Lord’s presence in our lives everyday, but during life’s detours we gravitate to him to a greater degree. Life has a way of derailing plans and detours us down paths we would not choose. Detours can cause fear, “imagined” or “real”. God’s people aren’t exempt from unwanted detours. King David admits he’s been through unwanted detours and dark places. When I am experiencing a detour in my life, I want to hear from someone who has walked through the dark place of life’s detours. Dark valleys are a detour, not your final destination. A detour is not a dead-end. You can learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable circumstances. Corrie ten Boom stated, “You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.”
